The Washington Wizards returned to action on Wednesday with their regular season opener against the Milwaukee Bucks on the road.
Washington fell to 0-1 on the season, losing their first of 82 games, but throughout the loss, the Wizards managed to come away with several hidden victories.
For starters, rookie Tre Johnson looks like the real deal and after years of the Wizards whiffing on lottery picks, the growing chance that the Texas standout is a hit could be huge for the team's future as they continue to build towards the future.
In addition, the team have a building block on their hands in second-year man Kyshawn George, who looks every bit the part of an emerging young star.
